:00:15. > :00:19.rejected plans for the Bailhff to be removed as speaker of the States.
:00:20. > :00:22.There was a move to hold a binding referendum in the Autumn whhch
:00:23. > :00:27.could've seen him replaced with an elected speaker. But today's
:00:28. > :00:30.decision is not likely to bd the end of the issue. Jen Smith reports on
:00:31. > :00:41.centuries of tradition, and why calls for change will continue.
:00:42. > :00:46.. He's the president of the government, so oversees the body
:00:47. > :00:50.that makes our islands laws. And also the head of the judici`ry so
:00:51. > :00:54.the person in charge of enforcing those laws. But there's a growing
:00:55. > :00:57.debate about this dual role. In 2010 a UK judge advised Jersey that the
:00:58. > :01:03.Chief Judge should be free from political pressure. But the states
:01:04. > :01:13.today didn't agree. So, the politicians have had their vote but
:01:14. > :01:18.what's the feeling on the street? I was not prepared today to stpport a
:01:19. > :01:25.proposition which would confuse people. But what do the isl`nders
:01:26. > :01:34.thing? Sergei think it should be separate. Yes wires that because
:01:35. > :01:42.people should not be making the laws and enforcing them. He is yds,
:01:43. > :01:46.here's a note, he is undecided. We do not have the House of Colmons has
:01:47. > :01:48.a renewal is not a good ide`. On the other hand, sometimes things go
:01:49. > :01:51.better if you do have a change. Jersey's government might h`ve
:01:52. > :01:58.rejected the calls for the Bailiff's job to change. But St Helier 's
:01:59. > :02:04.Constable thinks it will not be the end of it. I think future government
:02:05. > :02:09.will look again, many peopld said this will not go away. The rest of
:02:10. > :02:14.the world and other democracies will not allow us to continue to have
:02:15. > :02:18.this extremely old`fashioned system. So Jersey's Bailiff will sit in the
:02:19. > :02:23.chamber for another day, although those days could still be ntmbered.
:02:24. > :02:27.A move to delay a debate on plans to reduce car use in Guernsey has been
:02:28. > :02:30.rejected. Two strategies have been put forward by the Environmdnt
:02:31. > :02:32.Department and a number of changes to both have been suggested by
:02:33. > :02:36.politicians. The main proposals include a free bus service, a width
:02:37. > :02:41.tax on large vehicles and more cycle lanes. The debate will conthnue
:02:42. > :02:45.tomorrow. Sark's government has unveiled a new weapon in thd fight
:02:46. > :02:47.against crime. Chief Pleas have approved a controversial proposal to
:02:48. > :02:53.allow the island's volunteer police to use Pava Spray, which is similar
:02:54. > :03:00.to pepper spray. It can inc`pacitate a person for around 30 minutes
:03:01. > :03:04.without causing injury. Michael Kings reports. Sark doesn't have a
:03:05. > :03:07.police force. The island relies on volunteer constables who're trained
:03:08. > :03:11.by Guernsey Police. And it was after one training session that it was
:03:12. > :03:14.suggested that Pava Spray would be a useful deterrent to have in Sark.
:03:15. > :03:17.I've had a look at these today, which are the incidents involving
:03:18. > :03:21.constables in Sark, and there were more than 350 incidents last year.
:03:22. > :03:24.However many of them are relatively minor, the majority can be classed
:03:25. > :03:29.as tractor permissions and hn the last decade the island's prhson has
:03:30. > :03:32.only been used four times. So the thought of using Pava Spray has
:03:33. > :03:40.divided the island according to its Deputy Chairman of the Douz`ine
:03:41. > :03:46.Obviously with a volunteer Constable who puts their life on the lion I
:03:47. > :03:52.must stress that it is their choice. They need this protection whll stop
:03:53. > :03:58.but it is very much a 50`50, split on the island whether we should
:03:59. > :04:01.allow this not. But as you know we have now. Some of the volunteer
:04:02. > :04:04.constables have already had some training using the spray but they
:04:05. > :04:08.still need to officially apply to the fire arms committee who're not
:04:09. > :04:12.obliged to grant its use, so things may not happen all that quickly
:04:13. > :04:15.Meanwhile, Sark's annual accounts show the island's fallen into
:04:16. > :04:18.deficit for the first time hn nine years. Although spending was less
:04:19. > :04:21.than expected last year, a drop in income of ?200,000 resulted in a
:04:22. > :04:24.deficit of just under ?60,000 Experts in child sexual exploitation
:04:25. > :04:31.have been advising Police officers and partner agencies in Jersey
:04:32. > :04:33.today. Members of the NWG Ndtwork, a charitable organisation, held
:04:34. > :04:40.sessions on how to effectivdly investigate, prosecute and disrupt
:04:41. > :04:44.cases of Child Sex exploitation Although CSE offences in thd island
:04:45. > :04:53.are not on the same scale as the UK it's still an issue. In terls of
:04:54. > :04:58.organised site explication, we had an investigation which was hn the
:04:59. > :05:05.media at the beginning of the year. But this is on an individual basis
:05:06. > :05:09.we see it quite regularly. This is three offences such as rape,
:05:10. > :05:12.intercourse and other offences. Draft legislation has been lodged in
:05:13. > :05:15.Jersey's states which would enable an aircraft registry to be
:05:16. > :05:18.established in the island. Guernsey established its own at the dnd of
:05:19. > :05:21.last year using the name Ch`nnel Islands Aircraft Registry. The
:05:22. > :05:28.scheme would allow the registration of private and corporate high`value
:05:29. > :05:32.aircraft. The aircraft industry is worth a lot of money to the island,
:05:33. > :05:36.it'll make a contribution to the service providers who are already
:05:37. > :05:42.here. We are launching this at a time when the global and colmercial
:05:43. > :05:45.aircraft industry is thriving. The Channel Island's airsearch will have
:05:46. > :05:51.a basic replacement aeroplane in the next few days. The Lions Prhde
:05:52. > :05:54.crashed while answering an dmergency call out on Jersey's north coast
:05:55. > :05:57.last November. It'll be another 15 months before a proper, fully kitted
:05:58. > :06:00.out replacement rolls off the production line. The Manager of
:06:01. > :06:03.Guernsey FC says he's disappointed with the result of last nights'
:06:04. > :06:06.match against Leatherhead. The Green Lions failed to win a third
:06:07. > :06:09.successive promotion after losing 3`2 in the Ryman South Leagte. As
:06:10. > :06:12.the green Lions arrived back in Guernsey today, Tony Vance said
:06:13. > :06:18.although he was disappointed with the performance of the team early on
:06:19. > :06:22.in the game, overall he is proud. We should not fill sorry for otrselves
:06:23. > :06:30.and try to push on and put some wrong is right. The weather now
:06:31. > :06:35.Good evening, we have rain for tomorrow there is no way to get
:06:36. > :06:39.around this it'll be quite heavy in the morning. Some good news, high
:06:40. > :06:44.pressure is coming back for the weekend. We may have the wax to the
:06:45. > :06:48.end of Friday for this to h`ppen, but certainly send and Mond`y will
:06:49. > :06:54.be good. Tomorrow it is unsdttled, and settled with rain and showers.
:06:55. > :06:59.For a short while we will gdt some clear skies, but this will fill in
:07:00. > :07:03.with low cloud and mist before more showers turn up for tomorrow
:07:04. > :07:09.morning. 10 Celsius minimum. A wet day to begin with, a bit brhghter in
:07:10. > :07:15.the afternoon but still with the risk of shop showers. Top
:07:16. > :07:19.temperature of 13 Celsius. Friday is cloudy at first with the potential
:07:20. > :07:24.of light frame, improving in the second half of the day. Sattrday and
:07:25. > :07:31.Sunday the sunshine comes ott but cold at night. Good night.
:07:32. > :07:33.as well. The outlook, ht s(owq yo5 it will get cooler !s
:07:34. > :07:36.as well. The outlook, ht s(owq yo5 it will get cooler as we had through
:07:37. > :07:40.the weekend but brighter, although gardeners beware, night-time frosts.
:07:41. > :07:47.It was a day of contrasts across the UK today, rain coming in from the
:07:48. > :07:51.West but in the south-east, like winds and sunshine, up to 20
:07:52. > :07:54.degrees. Contrast that with six degrees in the East of Scotland In
:07:55. > :07:59.between we've seen some thunderstorms and more general
:08:00. > :08:04.showers coming in to the western side of the UK. Northern Ireland,
:08:05. > :08:07.Wales and the south-west. The best chance of staying dry is across
:08:08. > :08:10.Lincolnshire and East Anglia. A lot of cloud around generally
:08:11. > :08:15.overnight, some patches of mist and maybe a few patches of fog as well.
:08:16. > :08:19.The lowest temperatures will be in the far north of the UK, but the
:08:20. > :08:23.Northern Isles will also see the best of the weather through the
:08:24. > :08:27.morning. In the east, cloudy, wet and windy, cold, too. Some of the
